The difference between machining centers and gantry machining centers

The machining center commonly referred to in daily life generally defaults to vertical/horizontal machining centers;

Longmen machining center is one of the large, heavy-duty, and specialized models for performing large tasks. Core sentence: Ordinary machining centers handle small and medium-sized parts, while gantry machining centers handle large and heavy parts.

1、 The most intuitive difference: What does the structure look like? 1. Ordinary machining centers (vertical/horizontal) are like cabinets, with columns at the back and workbenches in the front. The workbenches are small, usually ranging from tens of centimeters to more than 1 meter, and people stand next to them to operate. They can reach out and touch the workpiece. Suitable for molds, shells, small parts, and conventional machines

Mechanical components

2. The gantry machining center has two large columns and a crossbeam on top, which looks like a door (gantry) workbench. It is long and wide, and several meters long. It is common for the spindle to move left and right on the crossbeam,

The front and rear movement of the workbench appears very small, suitable for distinguishing large, wide, and overweight workpiece processing objects at a glance. Ordinary machining centers include molds, cover plates, shafts, valve bodies, small frames, aluminum parts, and small steel parts. Longmen machining centers include large molds, machine tool beds, large frames, cover plates, and automobiles

Car molds, wind power components, large aluminum plates, long strip structural components, heavy equipment bases, etc. In summary, machining centers generally refer to CNC milling with tool libraries, and often refer to small and medium-sized vertical/horizontal machines. Longmen machining center is a large, heavy-duty, and large stroke machining center. One sentence note: Small items are added with regular ones

Work center, gantry machining center for large and heavy components.
